Iris Yue Janus/Lore
Overview Lore Relationships Events
Iris' alignment to the darkness is more personal, having been a part of a group of adepts worshiping the moon deity. Her clan was composed of nocturnal people who believed that going out on a full moon allowed them to perform activities under the watchful eye of the moon deity. Some even believed that Silverpool was the closest way to get in touch in her, going as far as saying they could confess any grievances to her. The latter part isn't too far from the common superstitions of Silverpool's water and memories of the self. However, her community would soon languish and fall at the hands of an incident involving a chaotic element, encroaching the settlement she once resided in a matter of suns. The settlement is already bubbled in today's time, but when the events happened it startled young Janus enough to run far away from the others. By the time she came back, the area was beyond recognition. If she had noticed any sooner, she could've spared her people of such fate... But it was too late. Janus had realized she's become the last of her kind. Unable to keep grieving over the loss of her family and many others, she cried to the divinity, pleading for forgiveness over the tragedy that befell her. Pleading to forget, for she couldn't bear another night with the pain in her heart.
She wandered through the forest alone, reflecting on the past, though not dwelling on them as much as she did before. Eventually, she comes across a small town; teeming with people, it was larger than the place she once called home, and it was just as lively as it was unknown to her. It was stranger territory, but it's not like there was any other place to stay in from here. She spent the days resting beneath a canopy set on the side of a shop, only really engaged with the residents during the night, as she's had her nocturnal lifestyle ingrained by the customs of her people. Janus was taken in by an Elvaari woman who runs a clock shop. Fascinated by how more involved the inner workings of the clocks look and behave, she gained an interest for small mechanics and tinkering as she grew up.
She travels to Eversun to follow the developments of Magitech more closely, and joins the guild as an ASD researcher. This work experience leads up to her propositioning the idea of a more streamlined model of Essence. And after a year and a half, Janus would then transfer to EDV to lead a postgraduate program for interested (ex?)alumni to learn, study and support the research of said upcoming technology.
